After a year away, the Lancaster Grand Prix returns to the Lloyds National Road Series on Sunday 12 July, bringing the domestic peloton back to one of the sharpest and most selective circuits in British road racing.
The 2026 Lloyds Tour of Britain Women will run for five stages for the first time, with 635.8 kilometres from Cumbria to Warwickshire and a summit finish above Llandudno at the heart of the race.
At 22 and racing far from home in Normandy, Rayner Foundation rider James Hartley has won three times in eight days—including a rare British win in the Coupe de France—and become a rider rival teams are told to mark. The secret, he says, lies in knowing exactly where he belongs.
Madeline Cooper’s long-promised first National Circuit Series victory arrived on the Guildford cobbles on Wednesday, 8 July. Just over an hour later, Thomas Armstrong ended a wait of his own, the defending series champion out-sprinting a four-rider break for his first career win in the series.
